There's a thread on this forum here that i posted on a couple of years ago, when the price of btc was around 5,000 usd and we had the same sort of comments then, you will lose everything! dont invest, its a ponzi type scheme etc. However since then the crypto market cap has increased by over 2 trillion dollars and will continue to increase over time. Unfortunately most of the posters have sour grapes becuase they knew about cryptos years ago but failed to invest and now they continue to knock it

How much did you lose investing in cryptos? What a strange post, so someones looking to get into a new market / a new asset class and your advise is...........''if you don't know, you don't know. Nobody is going to tell you how or teach you how'' If you have no experience in a subject, why post advise on the thread? In terms of investing i've always kept it simple, its important to remember that if your money is not making more than 10% per year you are actually loosing money, or certainly purchasing power. Leaving your money in a bank its literally the wort thing you can do, i remember when we were young and told to save money.....basically the worst bit of advise you could have taken in the last 30 years is to save money. Stick the money into bitcoin, its got to be better than loosing money in a bank account, plus if you are in a 3rd world country that money is at risk of it being taken away from you, or at least part of it by the central banks, as has happened already.

To the people saying Bangkok will be undrwater in 5 10 or 15 years, im more than happy to bet that this does not happen. Thailand the country where every year it gets confused as to why their reservoirs are over flowing during the rainy season and then come the dry season there is a water shortage! Every year now im no climate expert or water enthuasiast but perhaps a couple more reservoirs would potentially help bother annual issues that seem to happen. The best is when they turn off the water to the poor communities but still water the golf course that's up the road! Its 85 % theatrical!

Don't leave your money in a Cypriot bank account, can remember a few years back when the IMF and Central bank told them to fleece money from peoples bank account. Your bank account savings were subject to a tax varying from 9% upto 60% depending what type of account and how much money you had in there. The money was just taken from your account you had no jurisdiction over the money. Interestingly this is the same all over the world, when you put put money in 'your' account you are not making a deposit, as such, rather you are actually lending the money to the bank, so its theres to do what they want with. Of course in some developed Countries the government does cover upto about 80,000 pounds of whatever you have in your accounts. Banks do not take deposits nor do they lend money. (Technically by law defintion) They borrow your money and actually create money in the form of a 'loan'

Thailand does as China says, its always been the case and will continue to do so. Just like Thailand woukd not sign the COP26 agreement, despite travelling all the way to Scotland.

'Smart City' ????

I'm not sure why flying a plane would require therapy and what a strange place to conduct it in!?

Having personally probably spent too much time in these sort of areas, i always found is surprising that everyone seems to get a go. Even what you might describe as rough, will generally pick up some sort of customer at some point.

Who decides how many shots to be fully vaccinated? 3 shots but must be in a certain order? This whole thing has been 85% theater and the cracks are showing, what a mess.

This isnt about paypal, its the Thai government's control over its citizens payments.

Insurance is not going to stop someone retiring to Thailand, most people in fact almost all of the retired people will have Insurance. Considering all the other issues that are going on in Thailand, insurance is hardly a deal breaker, when you are considering somewhere to spend the rest of your life. Do you work as an agent for insurance or something......whats with the 'its all the people who skip payments that make it worse for the rest of us decent ones'. Give me a break please.

You have got to question this whole situation. In what dystopian world do we send someone to hospital for 10 days when they have no symptoms. Especially when we are told the hospitals are potentially under pressure. Hospitals are for treating the sick, not as a hotel for people that have nothing wrong with them.

Getting to the point now where it becomes a bit tiresome with their inept repetitiveness. Its no way to live amongst these wallies. Although i have pictures of friends in other bars in pattaya from few days ago and there were plenty of bottles of Leo on the table, yet you read rubbish like the above topic. Corrupt and bizarre.

No ones in Hua Hin because not many people go to Hua Hin.

definitely rent first, check transport links, internet, local amenities, neighbours etc.

Interesting you immediately come to the conclusion that the certs are fake rather than some issue with the testing procedure. What on earth does fully vaxxed mean anyway?

What's the point in travelling half way round to not sign something?

Majority of food poisoning comes from contamination in the preparation stages and is often found on the uncooked parts of the food. Ive watched the women in Hua hin's food hall and as they move the raw chicken to the fryer often bits of the chicken juice drip off and often land on the salad or in this case the basket of limes, which then decorate the finished dish. You wont get food poisoning from cooked meats. I generally avoid anything that is not cooked if its in the vicinity of raw meat products

That's not quite true, your two posts here are hyping up the situation with sensualistic comments that just do little more than inflame the situation and posters on here. If in the UK as an example if you test positive you just isolate for 5 - 7 days then you can go back out again into the general public. Thats it no more testing nothing. Of course Thailand might be slightly different but the whole situation is not quite as worrysome as you make out.

Only those sat close to the positive one have to then quarantine, think about within 3 rows. Staff unaffected and dont have to isolate

If you test positive in the UK, you then just have to isolate for 7 days. After that you can go back out. Do not take another covid test after the 7 days as you will more than likely test positive again due to to it still being in your system. This is official advise from the government as some of my family have caught covid (symptoms were very mild) Not sure if its the same in Thailand?

Surely based on the controls and regulations in place at the monent the stewards on board should have isolated if they were serving the positive ones, if not why not?

Rubbish, you cannot travel around the EU freely. Of course some countries you can move between but the countries completely freely, no.

After an intitial surge, why the surge? Figures are still high even if there is a drop. They began administrating a 4th booster shot nearly 2 months ago, hence the surge as you put it.

Who can fly to the beaches of southern Europe? Take Czech republic as an example, where can you fly without a covid test before departure? You cant.
